Okaaaay.... I still fail to see why you brought up Glenn Beck and his obvious inability to spell the word "oligarchy".

Glenn Beck and other far right wing pundits are trying to cast Obama as a socialist or even worse a communist. They are inflaming their followers into mindless protests that could escalate into violence. Everybody is insecure in this economic environment. To play on fears and worries is demagoguery.
There is plenty of room to discuss and debate Obama's proposals in a civilized manner.

Sometimes the truth hurts. It seems that only when left wingers protest, it is "patriotic dissent". Anything else is considered "militant extremism".

How is that any different than global warming, "gun control" and numerous other crap that liberals spew?
